Biological Therapies for Rheumatoid Arthritis: An Overview for the Clinician

Abstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease characterised by inflammation of synovial joints and poses a substantial healthcare burden on both the individual and society. One of the most significant shifts in the RA therapeutic landscape has occurred with the introduction of biological disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs). There are five classes of bDMARDs currently available, each with a different molecular target and subtle differences in their efficacy and safety profile. This review also describes t… Show more

“…Given safety concerns and the higher reported prevalence in our data, it is encouraged to educate patient using bDMARDs to perform frequent monitoring and assessment. This could be done through adherence to follow-up appointments ( Findeisen et al, 2021 ). Patients should also be educated on importance of proper life style and nutrition which could help reducing disease progression and could be an area for future research for its effect on prevalence of ADRs ( Gioia et al, 2020 ).…”

“…A demyelinating disease of the CNS and the spinal cord is the most common neurological complication occurring during anti-TNF-alpha treatment [39]. These complications most often occur in patients who are 51 years old on average, and in women [79,80]. Typical clinical symptoms are mental confusion, paresthesia, speech impediments, cognitive impairments, and numerous impairments of motor activity (apraxia, paralysis of the limbs, or hemiparesis) [44].…”

“…Various authors have also pointed out cases in which different methods of treating IFN-beta were used. Stopping anti-TNF-alpha therapy and using pulse MP and IVIG allows for the recovery of approximately 35-37% of patients [79,80].…”

“…Over the years, numerous nanobiotechnology (Bindra et al, 2021; Huang et al, 2018; Jain et al, 2021; Patel et al, 2022; Shi et al, 2017) and cellular‐based therapeutic strategies (Basar et al, 2020; Findeisen et al, 2021; Fischbach et al, 2013; Ullah et al, 2015; Yu et al, 2020) have been applied for targeted cancer therapy although the cost of treatment is rising continuously (J. Herrmann, 2020; Schmidt et al, 2020; Vokinger et al, 2020). Systemic administration and delivery of therapeutic probes viz., anticancer drugs on target site have been affected by off‐targeting that lead to design of localized therapies with low efficacy and high toxicity (Genard et al, 2017; Pich et al, 2019; Van der Jeught et al, 2018; Vokinger et al, 2020; Ward et al, 2020).…”
